If the only requirement of signing a guy is zero downside then shouldn't we just sign everyone?
Galiardi didn't have a down year he had a similar season to the last full season he played. In SJ he was given a chance to play with Thornton (who has made a career of making guys look much better than they are) and looked terrible at that. They gave him up for very little and replaced him with Mike Brown who struggled to play with the Oilers and Leafs.
Galiardi struggled to stay in the line-up of the 4th worst team in the NHL and there isn't any reason to think this upcoming year will be better.
I hope the Flames start looking for guys that make the team better and not guys that don't hurt or maybe if they can be something they aren't we can trade them at the deadline.
